The European problem
The future of the global environment depends upon how well innovative environmental solutions are integrated in sectors such as energy, transport, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, health, and urban and spatial planning.
This calls for the stimulation of innovative approaches and tools to handle complexity, interactions and interfaces, and to facilitate knowledge transfer, assessment, valuation, uptake and exploitation of scientific data and results for policy, industry and society at large.
